Unveiling the Void: A Comprehensive Guide to the Faceless Void Arcana

The Faceless Void Arcana, known as Claszian Supremacy, wasn’t tied to a specific Battle Pass level in the traditional sense, unlike many other Arcana items. Instead, it was unlocked after reaching level 495 in the Battle Pass of The International 2022 (TI11). After obtaining the base arcana, players then had to embark on a separate challenge to unlock its second style. This makes the Faceless Void Arcana a unique case with a multi-stage acquisition process, requiring both considerable Battle Pass progression and in-game effort.

How to Obtain the Base Faceless Void Arcana

While the initial level requirement was 495 in the TI11 Battle Pass, it’s important to understand that this was just the starting point. Reaching this level granted players the base Claszian Supremacy Arcana item. However, this wasn’t the end of the journey for those looking to unlock its full potential.

Unlocking the Second Style: Claszian Supremacy Alternate Style

Acquiring the base Arcana was just the first step. To unlock the alternate style, named “Claszian Supremacy,” players had to complete a specific challenge within the game. This involved earning 250 points.

• Earning Points: Points were awarded by having enemy heroes die under the effects of Faceless Void’s ultimate ability, Chronosphere. Every enemy hero death within Chronosphere would award one point.
• Maximum Points Per Match: Players could earn a maximum of six points in a single match. This meant that at least 42 games (if all matches achieve the maximum of 6 points) of optimal Chronosphere usage were required to unlock the second style.
• Kills and Assists Count: Crucially, both kills and assists counted towards the point tally, encouraging players to work with their team and not hoard kills.

This combination of Battle Pass level attainment and in-game challenge made the Faceless Void Arcana a significant investment of both time and effort during the TI11 season.
